365 Days of DC House Ads, Day 21

House ad for Batman and the Outsiders v.1 #32 (April 1986); printed in Detective Comics #560 (March 1986)
Art pencilled and inked by Alan Davis, reversed from the cover of BATO #32:


Note that in the ad Halo's aura is yellow, her "brilliant light" power, but on the cover it's blue, her "holographic distortion effect" aura. Which means

1. On the cover, Halo can't be bothered to show up for Batman's leave-taking and instead just sends a halo-graphic image;
2. I know waaaaaay too much about Halo.

Today in Comics History, July 10, 1968: Happy birthday to everyone's favorite superheroine*, Halo!
